Luc Mbah a Moute: 'I want to play' in Game 1 of Rockets-Jazz series

Rockets forward Luc Mbah a Moute has been sidelined since the end of the regular season with a dislocated shoulder but appears to be getting close to a return. Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni said recently that he’s days away from being cleared to play, and Mbah a Moute himself said he hopes to be ready for Game 1 of Houston’s second-round series against the Utah Jazz on Sunday.

Luc Mbah a Moute: "I'm doing good. How are you guys today? A beautiful day. It's been beautiful in Houston."

Of playing Game 1: "I want to play."

BTW, I asked about Mbah a Moute's game at Utah that I remembered as his best this season. He did not remember it at all.
